The Poll Winners

Originally issued under Cannonball Adderley's name (but with both Wes Montgomery and Ray Brown mentioned on the cover), Cannonball Adderley and the Poll Winners was one of countless albums that used awards garnered by the participating musicians as a promotional tool.

Of course, all this publicity seems irrelevant now, considering that both leaders have long been consecrated as among the best jazz musicians ever. Both display a wonderful chemistry here in their only session together as co-leaders.
